5 things Manchester United are doing better under Jose Mourinho

#1 Better man-management

Mkhitaryan came to life after a dismal start

Under LvG and David Moyes, United hardly looked anything like a cohesive unit. It's an old cliche, but too many players were out of favour and weren't shown any love, let alone tough love.

But Mourinho has always been admired by his lads. Perhaps his last Chelsea outing might suggest otherwise but if you look at videos like this, you'll get a better idea.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic came to Manchester United largely due to the fact that he'll get to reunite with his former manager who he believes brings the best out of him.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a tough time settling down in England and Mourinho took him off the first team and gave him time to work it out. When everyone started to believe that the Armenian had no place at United, Mourinho brought him back into his squad.

He went on to be one of the most influential parts of the team which won the Europa League the same season.

Anthony Martial was the star of LvG's second season. He was perhaps, the lone bright spark in an otherwise tepid United attack. But a change of manager and a change of system led to Martial blowing hot and cold.

Transfer speculations emerged in abundance and a 21-year-old player with such high potential was expected to leave Old Trafford. But Mourinho kept insisting that Martial has everything to be a great player but he needs to showcase it on a consistent basis.

Martial decided to stay put and Manchester United are reaping the benefits of that today.
